Probiotic Formula for Pig Farming

Various stressors, including nutrition, environment and weaning, can affect the productivity and health of pigs at different stages of life. Creative Enzymes offers probiotics that can be used in all the different stages of production in the pig industry and bring a variety of uses. Such as improving performance, mitigating disease, improving product quality or reducing environmental pollutants.

Sow herd and piglets

Probiotic treatment of sows shows a double potential, including benefits for the sow itself and for the piglets. Probiotic supplementation in sows may increase feed consumption during late gestation or lactation and improve body condition at the end of lactation.

Conservation of piglets

Piglet weaning stress is a major cause of economic losses for pig farmers. Weaned piglets have low disease resistance, which makes them vulnerable to stress and invasion by pathogenic microorganisms. Conservation is where the use of probiotics has received more interest in swine production, with the aim of improving weaning outcomes. Supplementing weaned piglets with probiotics has been reported to prevent or improve diarrhea. In addition, it helps protect against pathogenic bacteria, enhances intestinal barrier function and stimulates immunity.

Fattening pigs

The main objective of using probiotics at this stage is to increase productivity. Although older pigs have a more developed immunity and resistance to intestinal diseases, there is still room for probiotics to act and enhance growth, especially in early growth stages or high-density diets. Improving final meat quality and organoleptic properties may also be another goal of probiotics at this stage. This is because probiotics have been described to influence meat color, marbling and hardness scores and to reduce potential zoonotic infections such as Salmonella spp.
